GAH!!! You can say that again.  You struck a chord in my soul my friend.
This here is my favorite bird.  AWESOME JOB!!!  A couple of notes for you
though.  Don't feel bad about it being aft heavy.  The real thing keeps it
ballenced by the GAU-80 weapon system (gun) and over 1200 rounds of depleted
uranium 33mm rounds.  (I think this info is correct, I should go check but
don't feel like it...)  Even plastic models have a little ballence bar under
the fuselage to keep the boar from tipping.  Second my only other quip is
that the cannon has seven barrels, how one would do that in Lego in this
scale is another issue and think six looks beautiful.
I don't know, with all the work you put into it, doesn't the thing fly???? ;-)

Good Job.
